Parkes-based rugby league identity Derek Hoe is the new president of Group 11 after the organisation held its annual general meeting at Dubbo RSL Club yesterday.

The resignation of Bob Walsh as secretary forced a re-shuffle of the committee, with former president Ross McDermott being elected into Walsh's role unopposed and Hoe, who was in Queensland on family commitments, also elected without a ballot being required.

Nyngan's Alistair Quarmby and Cobar's John Claus were elected as vice-presidents while Narromine's Tony Barlow will continue in his role as treasurer.

The five members of the executive will be joined by Mark Murphy and new Westside Rabbitohs president Col Fuller on the group's management committee.

"There's a good mix from across the clubs there, which is exactly what we wanted to see," said Walsh, who admitted he felt both relief and sadness after finishing his official duties with the group.

"All of the people involved are passionate about rugby league and the group is in a strong position."

The judiciary panel remains the same as it was for the 2014 season while the selectors of the Group 11 senior squad will be McDermott, Hoe, Warren Wilson, Col Fuller and Mark 'Bomber' Forrester.

Such was the interest in the selection positions, eight people nominated for the five positions on the panel.

Meanwhile, with his Group 11 commitments out of the way Walsh is hopeful of being elected as a vice-chairman of the Country Rugby League (CRL).

Walsh is one of four nominees for the two positions, which will be voted on when the AGM of the CRL is held on November 28 at the Holiday Inn at Potts Point.

"I'd like to stay involved in rugby league and even though I'm not officially involved with Group 11 now I've told Ross (McDermott) that if he needs my help I'm only a phone call away," Walsh said.
